This is an AI-powered web app that estimates the water usage behind every AI query. Built to raise awareness about the often invisible environmental costs of AI compute.
https://ai-water-usage-estimator.streamlit.app/
- Streamlit (Frontend & Deployment)
- OpenAI API (LLM integration)
- Python 3
- Secrets management via Streamlit Cloud
The app estimates water consumption using published proxy values based on model type (gpt-3.5-turbo, gpt-4o). Future versions will introduce dynamic token-level estimations for more precise real-time feedback.
- Token-based dynamic water usage calculations
- Model comparisons
- Leaderboards or gamification for public awareness
- Educational dashboards
- OpenAI API key managed via Streamlit Secrets.
This project demonstrates real-world AI integration, cloud deployment, and responsible AI awareness.
